This is perfectly normal. Most soundcards do not provide mixing of two sound streams in hardware, so if you want to hear those Gaim beeps (do you? ;) while playing an mp3, then you need to configure software mixing. This isn't really hard but a bit tricky. You need to create a file: ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asoundrc with a text editor.
